Almost nobody understood my earlier webapp idea, so I'll try again. Imagine you were looking at a website such as FriendFeed and you wanted to create a near pixel-perfect copy but in a way that you could move things around, adjust shadows, etc. I want a tool that makes that easy.

And without taking screenshots or copying the html, since the point is that it should have the power to quickly create something that looks just like our current ui. Also, it should be web based, because then fonts, etc will be right, and also I hate installing things. My previous attempt at explaining this: http://friendfeed.com/e... (Balsamiq is not what I want). It does not need to produce html though, so it can cheat anyway it likes.
- Paul Buchheit
So you wanna something like "html to png/psd"? Editable graphical interface with layers and stuff?
- Selim Yoruk
No, not at all. My point is that you could look at the the FriendFeed ui (with your eyes) and then create something that looked just like it.
- Paul Buchheit
Fireworks is pixel perfect, correct font sizes and previews image in browser. Yes/No?
- Toby Graham
Are you looking for something like what is mentioned in this article - http://www.labnol.org/interne...
- Atul Arora
Are you want something like web-based rich page editor which works with objects in manner the human see them and want change them?
- gmarketer

- Arjun
Paul, I like the idea, it's got merit. There's plenty of tools that do half the job, that is, snip the page. The second part, i'm not overly familiar with the tools out there. The manipulation. I guess you could snip the page, and embed into your tool a js library, like scriptaculous, and attach special event significance to the controls/tags, for moving, dropping, dragging.
- Stu Andrews
I think I get what you mean now and I agree. That's not very helpful but hey. In the mean time you could edit the page live using firebug maybe?
- Toby Graham
It seems to me like you want the Visual Studio Win Forms designer for web apps hosted and served to designers as a web app. Drag and drop elements onto the page and adjust their properties in a property grid. Then send a link to others so you can share your concept.
- Eric Schoonover
For this, I use simple vector graphics editing app, like Xara or InkScape - I just make screenshots and use them as raw building blocks - usually I cut out from them small elements like controls/text-blocks/images/etc... In vector graphics enironment managing such kind of blocks is much more easier than in photoshop.
- Phil Smirnov
remembers that this idea has been described by David Siegel in 1997 in his book : Creating Killer Web Sites (http://tinyurl.com/5skw63)
- Oaksun
Paul, i think the edit-page command on ubiquity with the ability to: visually edit css and publish the changes is close to what you are describing.
- Ian
Eric pretty much nailed the description of the dream tool that I think Paul was asking for. In my dream the web app is truly collaborative and has an active GUI. So you can adjust those properties using a mouse or tablet and anyone else on your design team can watch as you do it so they can make suggestions and modifications as you work.
- David Muir
Let's say you want to make a mockup of FriendFeed called "FriendFood". You want it to generally have the same layout, only the top blue bar will actually have a background made of lasagna and a font that is made of French fries, and what shows on the page is everything people write about food on the regular FF, like "pasta OR bean OR potato OR steak". But you'd like someone to be able to do that from the web and without messing into much coding. Is that it?

I use OmniGraffle for this purpose.
- Jason Wehmhoener
Could you achieve it by using Firebug and tweaking the CSS?
- Shakeel Mahate
So something with the usability of say, omnigraffle, but that only used webkit for its rendering. With text controlled and positioned by actual css so that line spacing etc were correct, although again with a simpler UI than CSS has.
- Robin Barooah
Paul - I _just_ came across a site that did exactly that. Unfortunately, Safari's browser history is failing me and I can't find it anymore. Doh!
- Patrick Lightbody
Paul, not sure if you're still reading, but are you looking for interaction design changes as well, or just appearance?
- Mark Trapp
Did you try "PENCIL" an add-on for Firefox http://www.evolus.vn/Pencil/
- Francois Lamotte
I had never heard of Pencil, but it sure looks a lot like what I think Paul is describing.
- Jason Wehmhoener
I use ScrapBook Firefox extension to capture the page as is, and then edit that using Firebug.
- Jughead
Paul, I totally got you first time - anyone who thinks it's not a good idea has plainly misunderstood :-) It's the next step up from sketching out your UI on paper, n'est pas?
- Slappy Line
Thanks @Francois. Pencil looks quite promising...
- Ashwin Bharambe
Firefox Webchunks? Does only the snipping part though. Perhaps an add-on to webchunks that will let us use all those chunks together.
- Vamsee
it'd be kind of like pushing edit on a wiki, right. like, firefox would have an edit button then you could visually redo the page

One quick tip in Photoshop is to turn off anti-aliasing and use your various web fonts (Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, etc.) and use your preferred font size in pixels/points... This will provide you with screen accurate font appearances and sizes. The biggest problem with a "pixel-perfect" browser rendering is that it will never be consistent from browser to browser. They all render ever...

Pandora represents about 80% of the new music that I discover (and then buy) so it would really suck to lose it.

from twhirl
@Soulhuntre: who told you there were no haters on the left?
- MikeAmundsen
I know several folks who in conversation (in email) the other day concluded that intolerance was an inherent part of "the conservative mindset" and that tolerance was an inherent characteristic of "the liberal mindset". They even managed to misunderstand some already badly summarized "science" so they thought it was "proven". They are morons.
- Soulhuntre
In the end, the mistreatment, hatred and flat our viciousness of the attacks on Palin as a person by even the mainstream left have ripped away any claim they may have had to the moral high ground much liek it has destroyed the last vestiges of objectivity from many media outlets.
- Soulhuntre
Yeah - I'm wondering what fantasy world it is where people think there's no loonies on the left. Most of the 911 Truthers are leftists... And they're about as loony as you can get. I think thanks to McCain and Obama this campaign season is nowhere NEAR as nasty as it could have been.
- Chrimmus Tad
@Soul: who have conversations w/ some pretty interesting folks. science that proves leftists are more tolerant than rightists? LOL!
- MikeAmundsen
More hyperbole? Please. The left acknowledges our fringe and calls them out. That's why McKinney no longer has a seat. But with the right, the fringe is called "the base".
- Admiral Anika
And after over 16 years of attacks by so-called conservatives both random people and MSM on Hillary Clinton, I'm not inclined to care if some Republican's feelings are hurt because some Democrat mocks Palin for being an empty suit.
- Admiral Anika
Soulhuntre, you are standing in a klein bottle and shooting arrows...you just shot yourself in the ass.
- Alex Scoble
there's a big difference between saying there are no loonies on the left (which no one has ever claimed) and that the left and the right are equal when it comes to intolerance (which a reasonable person might well argue against). Personally one of the reasons I've always leaned left is because I prefer tolerance and I find more of it there; maybe I'm just nuts, though.
- Nathan Rein
Hehe, funny remark coming from the party of intolerance.

If nothing else this election has put to rest the illusion that the right has better family values than anyone else.
- Robert Scoble
This election showed me, whether left or right, a lot people are still racist, sexist, and ignorant.
- Rodfather
There are always haters and crazies no matter where you stand, but for sheer vitriol, I don't think the left can ever beat the right. I mean, the right is currently eating their own, literally calling for the blood of anyone who claims to be a Republican but wants Palin off the ticket. Even the PUMAs were never that whacktastic.
- Victor Ganata
Well, there's plenty of that on *each* 'side' - because there's just plenty of that in America! Two things I'd say, I do think the 'right' is more negative. I'd point to Google results for anti-obama vs anti-mccain for a somewhat statistical viewpoint. Second, is it okay to be intolerant of intolerance?
- AJ Kohn
This has been tame. The nastiest thing I've seen was O'Reilly beating up on Barney Frank, and that was just funny.
- Morgan Warstler
What I find amazing is that McCain makes such an egregious choice, a deeply unserious, cynical and reckless choice, a woman who heard about the surge "on the news," who lies extemporaneously and easily ( http://tinyurl.com/54fujw ), who clearly has never even thought about the great issues of our day, and the left is full of hate because we point all this out? And not just the left. Simply do a search for conservatives who think the same. I see no reason to be tolerant of a moron.
- Rick Powell
McCain WAS a serious, experienced, informed, qualified Senator (with whom I disagree on much) but he forfeited the benefit of the doubt when he chose Sarah Palin, a choice that was not ever seriously vetted. That's not hate, it's good judgment.
- Rick Powell
Tolerance can mean a lot of things. The tolerance that I care about, for which the left certainly outdoes the right, is tolerance of race, religion, sexual orientation, and new ideas. Others may be more magnanimous, but I refuse to be tolerant of bigotry, ignorance, and pure idiocy, of which, I agree, neither side has a monopoly on.
- Victor Ganata
In terms of statistics, it is well known that, on average, Democrats have more years of formal education than Republicans. Whether those extra years actually make you smarter is, I suppose, an open question. I also realize that it certainly doesn't necessarily make you a better person. Still, I could never hang with a crowd that celebrates anti-intellectualism, and mocks people who pursue higher learning.
- Victor Ganata
@Victor, LOL - find those stats! LOL. Statistically, conservatives are happier, donate more to charity (across all income levels), and have higher educations. You are pretending here - splaying out your psyche, for what you wish to be, and proving yourself as one who doesn't actually internalize facts as they are known.

- MVB (Grinch of FF)
It doesn't matter what your beliefs are, Conservative, Liberal, Religious, Atheist, or somewhere in the middle, take the extreme component from each each of those categories and you will undoubtedly find intolerance & hate. Bottom line is you shouldn't define a group of people by their extreme component.
- Jeff P. Henderson
Tolerance is much easier for all parties when you simply end public funding - what people do with their own money is up to them, most everyone respects this premise. Civility is yet another advantage of less government.
- Morgan Warstler
"Civility is yet another advantage of less government" --? Really? On what empirical basis could you possibly justify that? Not saying it's wrong, just saying it's completely unprovable.
- Nathan Rein
Morgan, we are more civil today than we ever have been in the history of our nation, yet we have more government than ever. We are also more tolerant today than we ever have been before.

- Robert Scoble
@Robert CNBC just said AIG needs $75 billion tomorrow or they are bankrupt on Wednesday. $75 BILLION! Maybe Google should buy them.
- Andrew Leyden
I am taking it easy on increasing my investments until I feel bankruptcies are at their max and I think we are almost 12 months from that as they are still accelerating. Not that I won't invest though.
- Roger Kondrat
Honestly, unless you are a pro and have money to burn, your mattress is as safe as your stock account this week. These bargains will be there next week and there is still some more shakeouts to come.
- Andrew Leyden
Agreed but I think your mattress real or unreal is never as good, you must not fear a Bear market as those with Balls can make even more money just be thoughtful before you buy.

Yeah, I switched into UYG a while back thinking we'd seen the bottom of the financial sector...heh missed it by a few months.

I've bought on previous dips but right now it's like a room full of dominos and someone has dropped in couple of bowling balls (AIG, Lehman, Merrill). I'm just not sure what's going to happen in the next few days.
- Andrew Leyden
Just out of curiousity, I was wondering why did the Fed bail out Bear Stearns but not Lehman?
- Sally Church
You have to remember Bear's collapse was really in the "beginning". It's possible that the Fed was naive enough to assume that a bailout was in order to prevent their worse case scenarios (AKA everything we've seen since then). Plus, they probably need to save our tax dollars to assist the FDIC when consumer banks collapse (WaMu for one).

Jon: I have WritingPad. It's not as robust as Swype. I also disagree it's not faster.
- Robert Scoble
there appears to be no connection between WritingPad and Swype. interested to see how this competition plays out. lawsuit?
- Jon Price
Robert: how more robust? not really seeing it in demos and write-up. WritingPad poor on words that share characters in same row.
- Jon Price
Jon: much more support for gestures like doing double characters and doing other stuff like better spelling correction. I need to play with both more to give you detailed list, though.

There was absolutely no communication from either conference. In contrast, I get bulletins from the Democrats on virtually an hourly basis. It seems if these organizers want to sell themselves as promoting startups, they could be a lot more organized about it. Personally I think its time to wipe the slate clean on this approach to product rollout and completely rethink it.
